A new Mount & Blade: Warband Video Interview on the YouTube hears from Taleworlds Entertainment's Armagan Yavuz, lead designer on the upcoming hack-and-slash action/RPG expansion. Armagan, whose English is much more fluent than our Turkish, goes into detail on the multiplayer modes the new expansion is adding to the game.

I only played for about 4-6 hours or so. Did you end up taking cities over? It looked possible, but I never tried it. I just worked for whomever was nearby. The cities looked very well defended, and I was barely scraping by if I remember correctly.

I found the combat to be rather fun back when I tried this game. The problem was that there just wasn't enough game around the combat to keep it engaging. It was just a series of skirmishes and that's about it.
